Les Arches de Belliviere Raisins Migrateurs Rouge 2020, 750ml

Les Arches de Bellivière, their négociant label, was launched in 2017 with the arrival of their son Clément and after frost damage affected their estate.

Raisins Migrateurs is made from grapes sourced from the slopes of Mont Ventoux, near Avignon, a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Aubun (Carignan).

The vines for this wine are located in Ventoux in the southern Rhône and are biodynamically farmed, with an average age of over 45 years. The hand-harvested bunches are transported in small bins by refrigerated truck to the Bellivière cellar.

The grapes are destemmed, macerated for 4 weeks in open top vats, and fermented individually, followed by barrel ageing between 12 and 24 months. The wines are blended in vats and bottled with minimum sulfur addition.

Tasting Note:

Warm and ripe cherry aroma with some plummy and potted red berry notes but also elegant and finely spicy aromas. Medium-bodied and fresh but intense and perfectly round, with a ripe and warm fruit texture, fine tannins and an elegant, refined acidity and very good length and stimulating.
